Hey, I was at that game when Manny ran out with the little flag, a Pedro-CC Sabathia matchup. Pedro gave up two runs in the first on a few hits and we didn't think he had it but then came back and struck out 11. We had the best seats that day!

I would believe that of some countries--France, Italy, Ireland---but Canada?

Oh yes, Canada, same substance as Ireland.

But with Labatt Blue instead of Guinness, no?

You know, I see a lot of ads for Labatt's but I never see anyone drinking it. Keith's (yummy beer from Nova Scotia), Tankhouse, Stella, Sleeman if need be. Molson (called Canadian here) is like Bud in the US, no one with serious beer sense drinks it. I like it, but I never order it.

Most pubs have Guinness, which was hard to find in NYC, and I don't know how to not order it.

Tim can add a lot more to this discussion, I only have five years experience.
